Okay, first of all, your vital organs can only be transplanted into another human if you are being kept alive by artificial means. If you simply die and then donate, your vital organs are NOT used in another person, they may be used for research or hauled off in a refridgerated meat truck to God knows where. Only if you are brain dead and on life support, can your organs be harvested into another person. With that being said, the harvesting is as follows - an incision is made at the shoulder blade all the way down to the wrist, the long bones are removed via mass mutilation. Next, another incision from the top of the hip bone to the top of the foot, again mass mutilation to remove the long bones. A PVC pipe is inserted to simulate bone. A large (approx 15 inch) incision is made from abdomen around to middle of the back to remove the hip bones. If they were on life support, all chest organs would be removed. Lastly, they take something similar to a cheese-grater and mow off mutiple layers of skin from the thighs, buttocks and back. Sometimes the entire eye is removed, sometimes simply the cornea is removed. What is left over is a butchered, fileted, mutilated mess that takes hours upon hours to try to repair. It takes literally hours to sew up the immense amount of incisions. I am not saying organ donation is a bad thing, yet it is uninformed. Most people have no idea what they actually do to the deceased.

They harvest the organs that are usable, if they locate the organ donor documentation, and then turn the body over to the family for whatever burial/cremation plans the family has.
Was this some kind of trick question?

If you want to know ,
If the person is a body donor, then his or her body is giving to science where studies of the human body is made, no if the person is a organ donor, then all of his or her organs that are good are removed and giving to a person who really needs them. the Body is then sealed back up and the family then can bury his or her loved one.

I am in the nursing field for many years and I say they would take the donor organ out first and put it in ice and ship it to where ever they may need it! it would have to be preserved so that it could be used in the other persons body! then they would embomb the dead body !

They take the organs that are donated, ice them and send them to whomever than usually cremate the body. The family usually decides on this when the turn the body over at the hospital.

The organs are removed and shipped to the recipients, and the body is given to whoever will handle the funeral, family, friends, or a pre-arranged burial home.

You need to be more specific regarding the area of organ donation you are confused about.
